Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Module 9 Cycles © Microsoft®. June 23, 2008 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service © Microsoft®. Things to think about … In addition to daily and work shift limits, drivers need to work within cycle limits of cumulative on-duty hours. Cycle limits help to prevent the fatigue that builds over time. When a driver reaches a cycle limit, the driver must stop driving. A driver can start a new cycle at any time if the driver takes an extended period of off-duty time that acts as a cycle reset. What are the cycle limits? How many off-duty hours must a driver take to reset the cycle? What if a driver does not reach a cycle limit? What if a driver wants to switch to (or start) a different cycle? What will I learn in this module? ; Cycle limits ; Cycle resets ; Cycle switching Module 9: Cycles 2 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service What are the cycle limits and cycle resets? Legislative References: - Federal Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (SOR/2005-313) Section 1 Interpretation - Federal Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (SOR/2005-313) Sections 24, 25, 26 and 27 Cycles - Federal Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (SOR/2005-313) Sections 28 Cycle Reset – Off-Duty Time Driver must operate under one of two cycles under the Federal Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations: • Cycle 1 – limit of 70 hours on-duty time over a period of 7 consecutive days • Cycle 2 – limit of 120 hours of on-duty time over a period of 14 consecutive days The motor carrier must choose whether the driver will follow the rules for Cycle 1 or Cycle 2. The driver must declare the cycle choice on the daily log for every day. Each cycle limits the number of on-duty hours in either a 7-day (Cycle 1) or 14day (Cycle 2) period. On-duty time includes both “Driving time” and “On-duty time, other than driving time.” If a driver reaches the cycle limit, the driver must stop driving however, the driver can perform other on-duty work as long as the driver does not exceed the daily and work shift limits. At any time, a driver can end the current cycle and start a new cycle if the driver takes an extended period of off-duty time that acts as a cycle reset. During the cycle reset, the accumulated on-duty hours are set back to zero hours. After the reset period, the driver starts a new cycle and the driver’s on-duty hours begin to accumulate from zero again. However, a driver does not have to reset the cycle. A driver can reduce the number of on-duty hours that the driver accumulates each day so as not to exceed the cycle limits (i.e., 70 hours in 7 days for Cycle 1; 120 hours in 14 days for Cycle 2). Module 9: Cycles 3 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Cycle 1 If a driver is operating under Cycle 1: • No driving after accumulating 70 hours of on-duty time during any period of 7 consecutive days STOP DRIVING AFTER 70 HOURS ON-DUTY IN 7 DAYS Example #1: Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Off-Duty Off-Duty 9 9 9 9 9 9 12 hours on-duty 12 hours on-duty 12 hours on-duty 12 hours on-duty 12 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING 10 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING 9 12 hours on-duty In this example, the driver reaches the Cycle 1 limit (i.e., 70 hours of on-duty time) during the 6th day (Friday). The driver is not eligible to drive on Saturday because the driver still has 70 on-duty hours in 7 days. However, on the next day, Sunday, the driver is eligible for 12 on-duty hours again. Module 9: Cycles 4 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service It is important to understand that the cycle is a “sliding window” of any 7 consecutive days. Therefore, the driver must always check that the total on-duty time for the previous 6 days plus the on-duty time for the current day is less than or equal to 70 hours (i.e., Total on-duty hours for previous 6 days + Total on-duty hours for current day ≤ 70 hours). Example #2: Sunday Monday Off-Duty Off-Duty Tuesday Wednesday Thursday 8 hours on-duty 12 hours on-duty 9 9 9 9 9 10 hours on-duty Saturday 9 9 9 9 9 13 hours on-duty 3 hours on-duty Friday 10 hours on-duty 13 hours on-duty 13 hours on-duty 10 hours on-duty 11 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING STOP DRIVING 24 hours off-duty 12 hours off-duty Start a new cycle – resume driving In this example, there are four different 7-day periods: • Period 1 (Tuesday – Monday) 67 total on-duty hours • Period 2 (Wednesday – Tuesday) 64 total on-duty hours • Period 3 (Thursday – Wednesday) 69 total on-duty hours • Period 4 (Friday – Thursday) 70 total on-duty hours Module 9: Cycles 5 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service The following table illustrates the sliding window for this example: Day # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Total On-Duty for Day 13 8 12 10 11 3 10 10 13 13 Total On-Duty for 7 Days 67 64 69 70 The driver reaches the Cycle 1 limit (i.e., 70 hours of on-duty time in any 7 consecutive days) at the end of the 10th day (second Thursday). The driver decides to take 36 consecutive hours of off-duty time to reset the cycle. During the cycle reset, the accumulated on-duty hours are set back to zero hours. After the reset period, the driver starts a new cycle and resumes driving (i.e., on-duty time starts from zero). Module 9: Cycles 6 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Cycle 2 If a driver is operating under Cycle 2: • No driving after 120 hours of on-duty time in any period of 14 consecutive days • At no point during the cycle can a driver exceed 70 hours of on-duty time without taking at least 24 consecutive hours of off-duty time. This off-duty time can be a combination of off-duty time and time spent in a sleeper berth as long as the time is continuous. STOP DRIVING AFTER 120 HOURS ON-DUTY IN 14 DAYS Module 9: Cycles 7 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Example #3: Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Off-Duty 9 9 9 9 9 14 hours on-duty 14 hours on-duty 9 9 14 hours on-duty 14 hours on-duty 14 hours on-duty 9 14 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING Friday Off-Duty Saturday Off-Duty STOP DRIVING 9 14 hours on-duty 24 hours off-duty 14 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING STOP DRIVING STOP DRIVING 8 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING 9 14 hours on-duty In this example, the driver reaches 70 hours of on-duty time at the end of the 5th day (Thursday). The driver must take 24 consecutive hours of off-duty time before the driver resumes driving. The driver then continues ensuring that he / she does not drive after accumulating more than 120 hours in any 14-day period. The driver stops driving after 8 hours on-duty on the second Tuesday. The driver is not eligible to drive again until third Sunday because the driver has 120 on-duty hours in 14 days. Module 9: Cycles 8 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service It is important to understand that the cycle is a “sliding window” of any 14 consecutive days. Therefore, the driver must always check that the total on-duty time for the previous 13 days plus the on-duty time for the current day is less than or equal to 120 hours (i.e., Total on-duty hours for previous 13 days + Total on-duty hours for current day ≤ 120 hours). Example #4: Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Off-Duty Friday Off-Duty Saturday Off-Duty 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 13 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING 24 hours off-duty 8 hours on-duty 12 hours on-duty 10 hours on-duty 11 hours on-duty 6 hours on-duty 10 hours on-duty 9 9 9 9 9 9 10 hours on-duty 9 9 10 hours on-duty 11 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING STOP DRIVING 24 hours off-duty 24 hours off-duty Module 9: Cycles 9 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING 24 hours off-duty 8 hours off-duty 9 hours on-duty 5 hours on-duty 9 9 9 14 hours on-duty 14 hours on-duty 12 hours on-duty 8 hours on-duty STOP DRIVING 24 hours off-duty Start a new cycle – resume driving 9 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service In this example, the driver reaches 70 hours of on-duty time at the end of the 7th day (Saturday) and 16th day (third Monday). The driver must take 24 consecutive hours of off-duty time before the driver resumes driving. In this example, there are seven different 14-day periods: • Period 1 (Sunday – second Saturday) 119 total on-duty hours • Period 2 (Monday – third Sunday) 116 total on-duty hours • Period 3 (Tuesday – third Monday) 119 total on-duty hours • Period 4 (Wednesday – third Tuesday) 107 total on-duty hours • Period 5 (Thursday – third Wednesday) 111 total on-duty hours • Period 6 (Friday – third Thursday) 114 total on-duty hours • Period 7 (Saturday – third Friday) 120 total on-duty hours The following table illustrates the sliding window for this example: Day # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Module 9: Cycles Total On-Duty for Day 13 8 12 10 11 6 10 0 10 9 8 9 5 8 10 11 0 14 14 12 Total On-Duty for 14 Days 119 116 119 107 111 114 120 10 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service The driver reaches the Cycle 2 limit (i.e., 120 hours of on-duty time in any 14 consecutive days) at the end of the 20th day (third Friday). The driver decides to take 72 consecutive hours of off-duty time to reset the cycle. During the cycle reset, the accumulated on-duty hours are set back to zero hours. After the reset period, the driver starts a new cycle and resumes driving (i.e., on-duty time starts from zero). © Microsoft®. Module 9: Cycles 11 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service What is “mandatory 24 hours off-duty”? Some drivers don’t accumulate enough on-duty hours in a 7-day or 14-day period to reach a cycle limit. For example, a driver who works less than 10 hours per day will not reach either a Cycle 1 or a Cycle 2 limit however, the driver still needs a period of off-duty time. If a driver does not reach a Cycle 1 or Cycle 2 limit: • No driving after 14 consecutive days (regardless of the number of accumulated on-duty hours in the cycle) STOP DRIVING AFTER 14 DAYS ON-DUTY • After 14 consecutive days on-duty, a driver must take at least 24 consecutive hours of off-duty time before the driver resumes driving. This off-duty time can be a combination of off-duty time and time spent in a sleeper berth as long as the time is continuous. This, however, does not mean that a driver must work for 14 days before taking at least 24 consecutive hours off-duty. A driver is free to take 24 consecutive hours off-duty at any time. As long as a driver has one 24-hour off-duty period in the preceding 14 days, the driver is complying with the Regulations. Module 9: Cycles 12 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Example #5: Sunday STOP DRIVING 24 hours off-duty Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 9 9 9 9 9 9 On-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 On-duty 9 On-duty On-duty STOP DRIVING 24 hours off-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty 9 9 9 9 9 On-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty On-duty In this example, the driver is on-duty for 14 days (to third Sunday) but does not reach either the Cycle 1 or Cycle 2 limit. The driver must take 24 consecutive hours of off-duty time before the driver resumes driving. Module 9: Cycles 13 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service How do drivers switch cycles, restart their current cycle, or change the start time of their day? Legislative References: - Federal Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (SOR/2005-313) Sections 28 Cycle Reset – Off-Duty Time - Federal Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (SOR/2005-313) Section 29 Cycle Switching – Off-Duty Time There are many reasons why drivers may want to switch to a different cycle, restart their current cycle, or change the start time of their day: • Motor carrier wants to switch from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2 (or vice versa) based on work schedules. A motor carrier may decide that Cycle 1 works better than Cycle 2 (or vice versa). • Motor carrier wants to change the start time of the day. In Module 5, we determined that the motor carrier sets the start time for the day. If a motor carrier wants to change the start time, the driver needs to start a new cycle. • Driver works for more than one motor carrier. If a driver works for more than one carrier during the same day or same cycle, the driver must use the start time of the day and cycle set by the motor carrier that the driver was working for at the time the driver started the cycle. If a driver wants to change the start time and cycle, the driver needs to start a new cycle. © Microsoft®. Module 9: Cycles 14 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service In all of these situations, the driver needs to end the current cycle by taking an extended period of off-duty time (cycle reset): • To switch from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2, driver needs to take at least 36 consecutive hours of off-duty time • To switch from Cycle 2 to Cycle 1, driver needs to take at least 72 consecutive hours of off-duty time • To change the start time of the day when using Cycle 1, driver needs to take at least 36 consecutive hours of off-duty time • To change the start time of the day when using Cycle 2, driver needs to take at least 72 consecutive hours of off-duty time • To reset Cycle 1 (i.e., reset the accumulated on-duty hours back to 0), the driver needs to take at least 36 consecutive hours of off-duty time. • To reset Cycle 2 (i.e., reset the accumulated on-duty hours back to 0), the driver needs to take at least 72 consecutive hours of off-duty time. A driver can end and reset the current cycle at any time after accumulating any number of hours in a cycle. A driver does not need to complete the current cycle before taking a cycle reset. The driver must record changes to the start time for the day and cycle in the daily log. After taking the off-duty time (cycle reset), the driver can start a new cycle and resume driving (i.e., on-duty time starts from zero). During a cycle, the day begins at the same time every day. Module 9: Cycles 15 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Example #6: This driver, who is using Cycle 1, changes the start time of the day on Day #3 after taking a cycle reset (i.e., ≥ 36 consecutive hours off-duty time). Module 9: Cycles 16 Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Example #7 This driver switches from Cycle 2 to Cycle 1 after taking a cycle reset (i.e., ≥ 72 hours off-duty time).
